Get Inside the Industry at Metal Insider

It’s been a few weeks since we first heard Alice In Chains’ “Stone,” and we still can’t get over that awesome riff. The band played on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night, and we can confirm that it kicks ass in a live setting as well. The band appeared on the show, playing that song, as well as “Hollow” and “Man In the Box” in support of their forthcoming album, The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here, which is due out on May 28. “Hollow” seemed a little more uptempo, taking on a life of its own as well. And not that it has anything to do with the music, but there’s something a little off-putting about guitarist Jerry Cantrell sans hair. At least Mike Inez is still flying the longhair flag. Check out the other songs performed after the jump.

I think Jerr’s Hair looks good. The stylist might have cut it a little too short for my taste, I think he looks best with slightly less than shoulder length, but I swear with this cut he looks 10 years YOUNGER- thats sexy-lol. Besides now he can see his chords-hahahaaah! Seans goods real goood!!!! Keep rocking it guys in honor of Layne and Mike- Love ya.
